GNU/Busybox ?!?GNU/Busybox ?!?Posted Mar 22, 2007 18:23 UTC (Thu) by nix (subscriber, #2304)In reply to: GNU/Busybox ?!? by lysse Parent article: The road to freedom in the embedded world
Now that's a good reason not to use the term GNU/Linux: like the earlier unlamented Lignux it's a pig-ugly term (and to his credit he recognized that `Lignux' was horrible and stopped using it).
RMS has come up with a good few really nasty names for things and rarely realises when they're non-euphonious... (mind you he's picked some good names, too: Emacs isn't bad, and POSIX is so much better a name than IEEEIX that it's not true.)
RMS is stubborn as anything, yes, but a good few of his stubborn stands are *right*. (Not all of them: most people I've talked to think the GFDL is a mistake, for instance.)
